Dahi ki bhindi / okra curry in curd gravy

An amazingly tasty recipe , okra curry !!! Just after marriage when my friend told me about this amazing recipe, I did't find it very interesting as the first picture that came to my mind was a slimy liquid okra's picture and I decided in my mind that I am not going to try this slimy vegetable in any case. But to my surprise when I saw it, the dish was very different and was looking very exotic. To my surprise it was not at all slimy and sour curd was giving the dish a very tasty flavor.

Now this recipe is one of my favorites love to serve it with naan or roti.

Last so many days I was waiting to post this recipe , just I was waiting for okra to be seen in Kashmir , today I got the first glair of okra in vegetable shop and quickly thought of sharing this recipe with you all.

If you are planing to include this dish for some special lunch or dinner then add 1/2 cup grated coconut and 2 tbsp of cashew ground them into paste and add in curry and get creamy and rich gravy . But for daily menu I avoid too heavy gravy .

4 cups (bhindi) okra, cut 1" pieces

1 tbsp (besan) chickpea flour

Method:

For the bhindi

There's nothing more inviting than hot South Indian breakfast: strong filter coffee, piping hot drumstick sambher with little bits of coconut, tasty coconut chutney gunpowder and golden-crisp Dosa! I love dosas and in fact I'm planning to make one today in breakfast. And it's not just because they taste divine but also because they're really fun to make: Right from grinding down the urad dal and rice, letting the white stuff ferment to running your ladle through the batter checking for lumps, it's almost therapeutic. After your pour the batter down a hot sizzling pan, even the wait to figure whether the dosa will stick or not is a delicious feeling....Dosa with healthy twist will make this delicious treat more interesting.

Turnips are called Shalgam in Punjabi/Hindi, Gonglu in Punjabi and Gogji in Kashmiri. They are mild in taste and absorb spices well. We love it in various forms.Shalgam is a winter vegetable and is a popular recipe from Punjabi cuisine. Shalgam (Turnip) belongs to the radish family. Shalgam ki sabzi is very good for health as it is very low in calories and fat, and a good source of fiber and several vitamins like Vitamin C, Vitamin B, VitaminB3, Vitamin B6. Gur is Hindi/Punjabi for jaggery. This creamy version from Punjab is one of our favourites.This recipe is from my mother in law's cook book , my mom In law was an excellent cook and being a panjabi, her excellency was panjabi cuisine. She was excellent at cooking all panjabi dishes like sarson ka saag, makkai ki roti, gur ke chawal or any vegetable like turnip or kormas, .
